Libya Acts to Combat ID Forgery
Libyan judicial authorities have focused on combating networks involved in forging identity documents and civil records. They revealed the use of approximately 6,954 fake national identification numbers to deceive the social pension system, resulting in the disbursement of around 304 million dinars over five years to ineligible beneficiaries. Additionally, the authorities halted the payment of 8,400 pensions and continued paying 52 million dinars to deceased individuals. Investigations uncovered the creation of forged family identities, the falsification of national numbers, and their use to obtain rights and benefits, including fulfilling security and political needs such as voting and travel. These operations pose a threat to national security and electoral integrity, with reports of government officials engaging in tampering or accepting bribes to create fake identity data. It is also believed that the forgeries extend to securing employment in security institutions and using those identities in criminal or terrorist activities.
